Lots 23 & 75 Blk 2 BM @ BC - Vail Associates - Development Sign
Extension Request - Design Review
Blair rejoined Commission discussion.
Gersbach stepped down due to a conflict of interest.
Wood stated that at the meeting of October 11, 1985, the Commission
gave approval for Vail Associates Real Estate to erect a development
sign for Lots 23 and 75, Block 2 (shopping center site). There were 2
conditions attached to the approval: 1) that the sign area not exceed
16 square feet; and 2) that the approval was only valid for 6 months.
Wood explained that when the sign was first installed, it's area was
approximately 15.3 square feet. Since that time, additions have been
made to the sign, without approval, bringing the current sign area to
approximately 23.3 square feet. If the Commission feels that it is
appropriate for this sign to remain in its current location, the sign
will either have to be returned to it's original size of approximately
15.3 square feet, or a variance will have to be granted for the sign,
allowing it to remain at a maximum of approximately 23.3 square feet.
Charlie Gersbach, representative of Vail Associates presented a drawing
of the sign along with photos.
Gersbach requested that the sign be allowed to remain for 120 days and
also requested a variance for the sign to remain as is. The sign will
be removed April 1, 1987.
Discussion followed.
Wood stated that the Commission can grant a variance for the sign
according to the criteria for a variance.
Wood then reviewed Section 15.28.090,92 with Commission, Variances and
Approval Criteria.
Gersbach stated that the property had been under contract and
purchasers had a contract with the Town of Avon, which has expired.
The "Now Leasing" was put on the sign to accommodate the financing
portion of the contract. He explained that the sign actually
represents 11 acres.
Donaldson motioned to approve the extension request/variance for 120
days.
Landauer seconded.
Donaldson amended motion to say that the sign would be removed by April
1, 1987.
